In the last 20 minutes we had a small problem with one of our core switches, which caused an outage on a small part of our network, which also affected our own website.

The problem was that one of the blades in the core router failed. We replaced this blade immediately which has solved the problem.

In any other case the redundant route would have taken over, but due to a misconfiguration this did not work as intended. We have also solved this issue, which ensures that if a blade fails in any future occassion, there won't be any downtime.
